They only ran 14 races on Haskell day last year - the Haskell itself went as race 13.

I hope to God they card 20 races on Haskell day this year ... and all of those stupid NJ bred 2yo MSW races with like 75K purses that are coming .. I hope they split them into 3 different divisions for each sex and run them as the first 6 races of the day so they can close in on fullfilling a stupid advertising slogan... while allowing me to get some extra sleep. Win/win for everyone, right?

It actually would be sweet if they go to a 14 or 15 race schedule for Saturdays and Sundays during Saratoga and Del Mar.. and basically run right through both of them.

Who cares about saving a little extra for a pretty irrelevant fall meet.

There is something very interesting that is part of the reason Monmouth is giving away less money than they claimed or planned.....their races aren't filling. They have been forced to run a number of cheaper races because $80K allowance races aren't filling. There just aren't enough " quality " horses to fill races regardless of purses. Theoretically, this should put a lot of other things in perspective, as if Monmouth can't fill these races with $80K purses, how can any other tracks. The reason you see cheap racing at every track is that there simply aren't horses to fill better races.

None of this is about what was " advertised. " Like I said before, it's a great case study for the industry.

The third race(opt allowance) at a typical NYRA event gets 6 with a pending Scratch while MP doesnt fill 3 allowance races (save the NJ bRED swill) it does feature 7 to 8 runners. The point is if you continue to offer 80plus K you will get the attention of horseman thru out the country

Freddy, given that Monmouth has run some short fields, " not filling " means they are NOT getting 7 or 8 horses.

I can't believe I just read this whole thread. I could care less about Monmouth or any of their advertising. I'm still focusing most of my wagering on Belmont and I'm looking forward to spending as many days as possible at Saratoga.
